So the main problem is kid's are taught very early that food should be fast and convenient, the second is they are taught that because that is what their parents were taught. It all boils down to a lack of education.
I think most parents think it's the job of the schools to teach nutrition but what many fail to realize is even if the schools are teaching nutrition it does not automatically lead to a healthy lifestyle. Healthy children start in the home and MUCH earlier than most think. Cooking at home, eating together as a family starts at infancy.
One other point about education is people have no idea where their food comes from. How it got there? Where did it come from? How does a hamburger from McDonald's taste the same all over the world from Cali? Why do baby carrots deceivingly look so small and cute? Be curious, ask questions, read labels.
